README

The free Laravel package to help you integrate data with GA4

Use Cases

  • Crawl and parse result from GA4 with reformated and sorted values
  • Easy to understand and draw charts
  • Example crawler command
  • Send data to Google Analytics by Measurement Protocol.

Features

  • Dynamic Google Service credentials from config/google-service.php
  • Dynamic Google Analytic properties from config/google-analytic.php
  • Easy to crawl data with a simple line code
  • Easy to sync your users or products and orders to Google Analytics.

Know issues

  • This package uses the latest official SDK, libraries and methods from Google then it might be large (around 30mb for dependency package google/apiclient) for shared hosting.
  • Please consider your server's environment before using this package.
  • However, we still recommend that you follow the latest writing style for Google libraries to ensure safety, compliance, CI/CD and most importantly if you are using services

Requirements

  • PHP: 8.1 or higher
  • Laravel 9.0 or higher

Quick Start

If you prefer to install this package into your own Laravel application, please follow the installation steps below

Installation

Step 1. Install a Laravel project if you don't have one already

https://laravel.com/docs/installation

Step 2. Require the current package using composer:

composer require funnydevjsc/google-analytic-laravel-integrate

Step 3. Publish the controller file and config file

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="FunnyDev\GoogleAnalytic\GoogleAnalyticServiceProvider" --tag="google-analytic"

If publishing files fails, please create corresponding files at the path config/google-analytic.php and config/google-service.php and app\Console\Commands\GoogleAnalyticCommand.php from this package. And you can also further customize the GoogleAnalyticCommand.php file to suit your project.

Step 4. Create a Google Service credentials:

  • Then download it to your computer as application_default_credentials.json and move it to the storage_path of Laravel project but don't forget to ignore it from git to secure your project.

Step 5. Update the various config settings in the published config file:

  • After publishing the package assets a configuration file will be located at config/google-analytic.php and config/google-service.php.
  • Please use your Google Service credentials values from application_default_credentials.json to fill into config/google-service.php file.
  • Find your Analytic Property ID and fill into config/google-analytic.php file like this:

  • Then in this case our Analytic Property ID is 281673130 which was shown on the current URL.

Step 6. Add middleware protection:

app/Http/Kernel.php
<?php

namespace App\Http;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Kernel as HttpKernel;

class Kernel extends HttpKernel
{
    // Other kernel properties...
    
    /**
     * The application's route middleware groups.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $routeMiddleware = [
        // Other middlewares...
         'google-analytic' => 'App\Http\Middleware\GoogleAnalyticMiddleware',
    ];
}

Step 7. Add based view controller:

app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php
<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Session;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\View;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    ...

    /**
     * Bootstrap any application services.
     */
    public function boot(): void
    {
        ...
        View::addNamespace('google-analytics', base_path('resources/views/vendor/google-analytics'));
        View::share('clientId', Session::get('clientId') ?? '');
        View::share('userData', Session::get('userData') ?? '');
    }
}

Step 8. Migrate your Analytic Property ID with your Front End:

You can use libraries such as spatie/laravel-googletagmanager to set up GA4 for Front End of the website then declare events and activities of users and businesses using Javascript to trigger those events and send reports to GA.

Step 9. Save data to Database and Draw charts:

You can use or optimize app/Console/Commands/GoogleAnalyticCommand.php to retrieve data and store the collected data into the Database for convenience in research, evaluation and drawing charts. Drawing charts is possible through Javascript libraries. Example collected data like this (this data bellow is not real and just for demo only):
